So when you are that divorcee with kids there is always that lull time during any holiday season. You know, the time when the kids are no longer there and all of the sudden you have this huge block of time on your hands. And then it dawns on you: that list, the proverbial list, the one that never goes away! The list that has enough items for 50+ single moms and you can't seem to find those 49+ moms to help you with that list. The things at the bottom are the ones you despise the most: changing the light bulbs in the garage. Those same lights you have spent months ignoring but are reminded of every time you get out of your car past 5 pm and you have no way of seeing through the over packed garage to get into your house! You keep clicking your auto unlock on your car keys to get the car lights to flicker and be of some assistance. And how many months can you keep doing this? When is Daylight Savings time again? You have to conquer this list! You have to attempt to put some dent into it while the kids are away! But what about me time? What about the other family you have been neglecting? Did you call everyone or visit everyone over the holidays? Now, back to that "To Do' list. Somehow I will get some items checked off. And those garage lights? That has to move up to the top of the list before I break my leg.
